Semua Bab Spoiled by Mr. Russell: Bab 621 - Bab 630

‘Scented candles?’ Lily was slightly attentive, but at the same time, she understood that Henry meant there was a problem with the scented candles."I made it for Grandpa. He had insomnia and wasn’t sleeping well, so I prepared the scented candles to relieve his mind. What's wrong with them?" She asked calmly."What's wrong? How dare you ask?" Henry sneered. "Relieve his mind, my *ss! Your candle sent your grandfather to eternal rest instead!""You mean, there was a problem with the scented candles?" Rather than beating around the bush, she chose to be straightforward. She got straight to the point instead of admitting some trumped-up charges."Wouldn’t you know if there was a problem with the scented candles?" Henry's words were full of sarcasm.Lily looked over. None of the elders said anything. She understood that these people either acquiesced to Henry's statement and felt there was indeed a problem with her scented candles which caused Wilfred’s death, or they did not agree with a

"Well said! If there’s another reason for my grandfather's death, I’ll investigate the truth! So..." Lily looked around. "Let's report it to the police!"She pulled out her mobile phone as she spoke, "Since we all have different opinions, we might as well hand this matter over to the police. It’s the fairest thing to do to get justice. When the investigation is cleared, Grandpa can rest in peace."However, her arm was held against her before she could dial the number. Jonathan frowned and said solemnly, "You can't call the police!""That's right. You can't call the police." The elders surrounding them all spoke up. Surprisingly, they all decided against contacting the police."The Lodge family is a plutocratic family with a century-old foundation. It would be a shame for our family if something like this were to spread, regardless of who was responsible. The Lodge family must resolve things internally, and when we identify the guilty party, we’ll give them a fitting punishment. No

Glancing at Lily, Jonathan cleared his throat and said, "We must thoroughly investigate your grandfather's death. However, you two insist on your own words, and it is difficult to tell the difference for now, but don't worry. Since I’ve taken over the family, I will give you a satisfactory answer.” Sure enough, Lily wanted to get out of the way, sneering, "Granduncle, everyone understands the truth, but there should always be a conclusion. We mustn’t delay Grandpa’s burial. At least there should be a time limit, right?" "Why are you so anxious? Are you guilty?" Jonathan said unhappily after giving her a side glance."There’s no point in arguing anymore, and it doesn’t matter whether or not I’m guilty. What matters is the result. I only hope to find out the cause of grandpa's death." Lily did not want to take a step back and continued, "The elders are here today. Since Granduncle Jonathan is in charge of the family now, I believe I can convince everyone with actions instead

Justin’s doors remained open beyond Lily’s expectations. It was as if he was waiting for her. Although Justin did not close the door, Lily glanced inside the room, raised her hand, and knocked on the door twice."Come in," Justin's voice sounded.Lily noticed only one dimly lit lamp turned on in the room. Justin was sitting on a chair by the window with a cup of coffee in front of him. It smelled fragrant, but it seemed as if he did not even take a sip."Justin.""Sit down," he said. His eyes remained calm as he glanced at Lily.Although there was still no expression on his face, Lily thought his eyes looked much better than when they were in the mourning hall."You..." After hesitating, she wanted to ask Justin something but needed to figure out where to start."Didn't I tell you not to come back? You’re still so stubborn," Justin started the conversation. Although he complained, Lily could hear that he was concerned."Do you think I could still escape if I don't come back?" L

Justin’s answer was not necessary anymore, as his attitude spoke volumes. Lily got back to her room and noticed that Alexander was not there. She had no idea where he had gone, but as he had assured her, they were on the Lodge family's grounds, which were perilous at times but mostly safe. Therefore, she should not worry about him.She had to handle some things urgently, so Lily took out her phone and called Olivia, “Liv, there’s a small candle stick in the safe inside my lab. Could you please send it to the FDA for lab testing?” “Why?” Olivia had not seen Lily in days. She was overjoyed to hear from Lily, but before Olivia could ask how she was doing, Lily made an unexpected request.“I need it urgently. Please help me,” Lily added, “Don’t tell anyone about this. You need to do this personally, and when you have the results, take a photo of it and keep the report safe with you.” “Okay,” Olivia promised though she was still slightly confused. As a perfumer, they were trained to
